    Others are doing great! Everyone is healthy and eating well. I was even able to move the blue one back in with the others. I will post some updated pics soon.

    Congradulations! Been a long journey for you, but worth it in the end. They look great

    Thanks! They seem to be doing pretty well. They are eating and were swimming around last night. I just turned the lights on so I think that spooked them a little but they look pretty good so far.

    If they are eating already, you should be good to go....now comes the regular partials and keeping watch on your parameters!

    What are you feeding?

    Feeding frozen blood worms. Water changes 3-4 times a week just like with the other ones. I change 50% each water change.

    don't forget variety (unless you want them on the bloodworms for life)...I've learned they take frozen foods well and flakes...I've had no luck with the pellets (besides the first several weeks...now they refuse to touch them). Lol!

    Yeah, mine don't seem to care for pellets either. The big one used to only eat spectrum. As soon as I fed it blood worms it quit eating the spectrum. Occasionally i'll throw some beef heart in there but I dont like feeding that.
